Who Should I Start? Devin Singletary or Antonio Gibson

Tuesday, July 22, 6:10 PM

If he's healthy, New York Giants running back Devin Singletary figures to be a lock for the final 53-man roster heading into the 2025 regular season, in the opinion of The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton. The Giants won't get any salary cap savings if they were to cut Singletary, and Stapleton thinks that with two young backs on the roster in Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Cam Skattebo, Singletary will be even more valuable on and off the field. The 27-year-old took a back seat to Tracy in 2024 in his first year with the team, carrying the ball 113 times for 437 yards and four touchdowns in 15 games (five starts) after he had a career-high 898 rushing yards the previous season with Houston. Now that the rookie Skattebo is in the fold, Singletary is likely to see his role reduced even further in 2025.

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed for 41 yards on 12 carries during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills. He also caught four of his six targets for an additional 20 yards through the air. Gibson remained the Patriots' primary running back on Sunday, playing 65.6 percent of the offensive snaps. Terrell Jennings played 37.5 percent of the snaps, and interestingly, Rhamondre Stevenson didn't step foot on the field for a single down. Stevenson has been in the doghouse following a costly Week 16 fumble, registering just two carries since then. Gibson is still under contract with the Patriots for two more years, which means there's a strong chance he enters 2025 as the team's primary running back. Of course, a lot could change between now and Week 1 of next year, especially with New England set to bring in a new coaching staff.
